Jeff,

With all due respect your a more than little delusional. I hope you dont take such offense to that statement that you stopped reading.

There is one, perhaps two, states that have a more active Animal Rights population than Washington (CA, possibly NY), especially if counted on a per capita basis. I used to watch these guys very close, but had to back off some because my pespective was getting shot to hell.

Anyway, having watched these guys operate, including watching their communications from the inside, I can absolutely assure you that the facts dont matter on whit. At least, that is, if your version of how to interpert the facts is different from theirs. They will peel apart footage like that, make up their own facts to describe it, and sell it as gospel truth to the public with a lot of sad music.

I think the video was fine. If your worried about ammo for an animal rights campaign, there is really no protection from that at all (not even completely avoiding videos alltogether). They will get the footage, even if they need to play the role of potential apprentice tagging along for a day in the field with hidden camera's and mic's and rolling tape.

Even with mediocre or bad videos out there, it helps to counter the AR message before it even comes by sparking the interest amoung people who think its cool that may do a little research and come away thinking falconry is neato.
